Description:
The top image shows the
one millimeter square array of electrodes that connect HP Labs' molecular
memory device to the outside world. The next image shows the electrodes
connected to the device's much smaller grid of nanowires. The third
image shows the grid, and the fourth is a close-up of the nanowires.
Each wire is 40 millionths of a millimeter wide, and each junction
contains 1,000 molecules that act as an electrical switch that stores
a bit. |
